    How Taiwan's Semiconductor Industry Won

    15:07How Taiwan's Semiconductor Industry Won
    • They had an early start to witness semiconductor companies and had American-trained Taiwanese engineers. So, by the late 1980s and early 1990s, Taiwan's semiconductor industry began to gain global recognition. TSMC quickly became the go-to foundry for fabless companies around the world, including prominent tech firms in the US and Europe. The company's willingness to invest in cutting-edge manufacturing technology, such as advanced lithography and process nodes, allowed it to stay ahead of competitors. By the early 2000s, Taiwan had firmly established itself as a global leader in semiconductors. The industry became a critical part of Taiwan's economy, contributing significantly to its GDP and providing thousands of high-paying jobs.

    • TSMC has continuously been at the forefront of process technology innovation. They went on to pioneer the mass production of 7nm and 5nm chips, used in cutting-edge devices such as Apple's iPhones, NVIDIA's GPUs, and AMD's processors. One of the most complex processes in semiconductor manufacturing is the use of extreme ultraviolet, EUV, lithography to produce chips at 5nm and below. EUV lithography is a technology that allows manufacturers to etch incredibly small circuits onto silicon wafers, enabling the creation of the world's most advanced semiconductors.
